Adult Orthodontics: Braces and Retainers for Adults

When it comes to orthodontic treatment for adults, one of the most important factors to consider is the way braces or retainers may affect the patient’s appearance. Dr. Runnels’ patients are often pleased to learn that we offer a number of treatment options that are discreet. Adults who wish to straighten their teeth can be fitted with different types of braces, such as tooth-colored or clear ceramic braces or lingual braces which are applied to the inner surfaces of the teeth for virtually undetectable re-positioning of the teeth. Some of our adult orthodontics patients may also be able to dramatically reduce their treatment time with AcceleDent™, a small appliance which speeds up the movement of the teeth. Dr. Runnels also offers Vivera™ retainers, which are made by the makers of Invisalign™ and allow our patients to maintain the positioning and alignment of their teeth without the inconvenience and telltale metal wires of traditional retainers.

Many of our adult orthodontic patients find that their newly-straightened smiles are even further enhanced with treatments such as teeth whitening and laser gum sculpting. Whether you are an adult interested in using braces to straighten your teeth or you simply want to refresh the appearance of your smile with a cosmetic dentistry treatment, Dr. Runnels has the right option to help you achieve your smile enhancement goals.
